Hosted by the UCSD Traithlon Team, Tritonman has become the largest collegiate triathlong event (outside of Nationals) in the country.The race this year featured many professionals starting their 2015 race seasons as well as a strong collegiate field eager to tow the line with the elites. This year, the Tritonman Draft Legal race acted as an Elite Development Race, meaning the top three ameuters of each race recieved their pro licenses.
